I just. I dunno how I'm supposed to feel knowing this sort of..... transactional friendship formed because the king's wanted the opportunity for their kids to go to acting classes. Seems like a really weird "feel good" story imho

Do you think that most good deeds are simply transactional or is that just some good ol’ trauma knocking?

I'm just saying, bragging about that is pretty weird. It's like saying kids are "inspirational" for selling lemonade to raise money for their moms chemo treatment. Yeah, it's sweet the kids did that, but they're still minors doing their best when nobody else will so their mom won't die. It's a pretty fucked way to talk about that.
